چکیده
The motion of a single elongated (Taylor) bubble propagating in a transparent vertical pipe is studied experimentally in stagnant liquid, as well as in upward and downward liquid ̄ow. Digital image processing of a sequence of video images serves as the main experimental method for the study of the Taylor bubble motion. In addition, the distribution of the velocities in front of the bubble and in the liquid ®lm is measured using Particle Image Velocimetry. The relation between the Taylor bubble motion and the velocity ®eld in front of it is discussed. # 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The classical Board±Hall model is re-examined and shown to imply that, contrary to the model's intention and widely-held interpretation, multiphase thermal detonations are not physically possible. A new key physical concept is introduced, and the results show the existence of supercritical detonations, even in lean (melt content) premixtures, in agreement with recent experimental evidence. This...

This communication describes the results of bubble rise simulations using a lattice Boltzmann method and a front-tracking finite-difference method. The simulations, performed in a 2-D periodic box, consider two specific examples: a steadily rising bubble and a bubble rising in an oscillatory manner with accompanying shape change. We compare the shapes and rise velocities of the steadily rising ...

The motion of elongated (Taylor) bubbles in air±water vertical ̄ow is studied by processing consecutive series of digitized video images. The shape of the elongated bubbles, as well as the velocities of the liquid±gas interfaces, are measured for various ̄ow conditions. The bubble velocity variation caused by air expansion under the in ̄uence of hydrostatic pressure gradient is measured and comp...

A new Lagrange-multiplier based ®ctitious-domain method is presented for the direct numerical simulation of viscous incompressible ̄ow with suspended solid particles. The method uses a ®niteelement discretization in space and an operator-splitting technique for discretization in time. The linearly constrained quadratic minimization problems which arise from this splitting are solved using conju...

The breakup of viscous and viscoelastic drops in the high speed airstream behind a shock wave in a shock tube was photographed with a rotating drum camera giving one photograph every 5 ms. From these photographs we created movies of the fragmentation history of viscous drops of widely varying viscosity, and viscoelastic drops, at very high Weber and Reynolds numbers. Drops of the order of one m...
